    Obviously not everyone is going to have an issue with the touchscreen.

    What I'm telling you is fact. Lexus vehicles specifically do not have functions routed through the touchscreen, and non nav cars do not have touchscreens because the focus groups they sampled preferred simple control layout that did NOT involve a touch screen.

    Again, I own a Lexus, I run the forums on a Lexus enthusiast website, I have read articles and conversed with Lexus executives and designers through that capacity. Thats why theres no screen, if you want to make up some make believe reason why there's no screen or pretend the auto paralell parking is more practical than it is thats fine. No point in arguing.

    ??? I wasn't trying to make up excuses, dude. Can I not question without being treated as someone who wants to pick a fight?

    That reads as gruffer than I intended it to, I apologize.
